A private funeral Mass for Frank Sinatra is to be held here at noon on Wednesday, after a Tuesday night vigil service, a family spokeswoman said this weekend.

Both services, at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, is to be officiated by Roger Cardinal Mahony, of the Los Angeles Roman Catholic Archdiocese, said the spokeswoman, Susan Reynolds.

The Mass will be invitation-only, Ms. Reynolds said. The private vigil service is to begin at 7:30 P.M.

Burial is to be private. Ms. Reynolds did not give a location, but the Sinatra family has a plot at Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City, near Palm Springs, where Mr. Sinatra's mother and his lifelong friend Jilly Rizzo are buried.
